Occupy Cleveland Delays Single Mom’s Eviction

After her husband left her and refused to provide any support, Beth Sommerer was due to be evicted from her home today, along with her children. But at the last moment, she made a desperate plea to the protesters of Occupy Cleveland.

Soon afterward, Occupy Cleveland pitched its tents in Sommerer’s yard, vowing not to move unless she was allowed to stay in her home. On Monday, a local court gave in and gave a 30-day stay on the eviction order. Watch local news station WKYC’s report about the incident.
